Pond Maintenance Business?

[Pheon]

Hi. Does anyone here use a pond maintenance service? If so what do they charge? What do they do? In my area it seems there is a demand for this service but no one seems to be doing it. I'm toying with the idea of starting this type of business.

I moved this from the Construction forum.

Thx,
Pheon

We have them here in Houston.  One of them, the slogan on the sides of their trucks is, "All You Do Is Feed The Fish."  Cute.

I don't know about fees or duties.  I'll bet you could do some Googling (maybe even that slogan) and find a couple of companies' websites, and learn from those. 

I'm betting it's as much equipment maintenance as pond maintenance.  Filters, clogged pumps, etc., in addition to green water cures, overgrown plants, moving rocks, etc.

While I do my own pond maintenance gladly, I'd work at Walmart before I'd clean ponds for a living.

Thanks for your input. I really do enjoy it and even more if I was being paid.
